LONDON, Oct. 31.-The foregone con-
clusion of Mr.. O'Brien's failure to sus-
tain his appeal from the sentence of the
MitchelstOwn court having arrived, he
will be imprisoned in the Cork jail dur
ing the term of his sentence. but will
not be compelled to perform hard labor.
The scene in the court room after the
announcement of the decision rejecting
the appeal was most unfortunate, but
the police were in measure eXcuSable
for their action, in spite of the fact that
the formality of signing the warrant for
the re-arrest of Mr.. O'Brien had not yet
been observed. The confirmation of
the original sentence, however, justified
the police in restraining him, and 1T was
undoubtedly fortunate that they pre-
vented him from reaching the street.
The indignation of the crowd was
wrought up to a point verging upon
fury, and had the convicted editor sue
ceeded in obtaining his liberty long
enough to have placed himself in their
midst the resistance of the mob to his
arrest would have precipitated riot
that no force the government had within
call could have quelled. The absolute
certainty that this would have occurred
is recognized by everybody and many
are Inclined to praise the police for their
summary action. while still cOndemning
the court for confirming the judgment
from which Mr.. O'Brien appealed. The
Liberals will be sure to reap advantage
from the arbitrary and almost deSpOtic
course of the government. and will es-
pecially profit among the English elect
Ors by the decision in the matter of
wILFRED BLUNT'S APPEAL
which cannot be otherwise than iden-
teal with that in the case of Mr..
O'Brien. Everybody is now convinced
that nothing short of parliamentary
defeat will deter the Tories from en-
forcing the strict letter of the law, and
the number of Irish members of parlia-
ment who will become inmates of Irish
iails within the next few weeks is likely
to bc large, while Wilfred Blunt will be
by no means the only English sharer of
their privations. The injustice of en-
tombing 4 man for three months for adj
ing the right of civilized people to
govern themselves appeals to the grow
ing democratic sentiment of England,
and ultimately Mr.. O'Brien and his fel-
low martyrs must achieve triumph for
themselves and their cause through the
tyranny of the party in power.
NOTES FROM ABROAD.
The grand Jury at WOlverhampton has
decided TO make preSentment against
Andrew Carnegie's book, Triumphant
Democracy, in consequence of its con-
teniptuOus allusions to royalty. with
view of having the work banished from
the shelves of the public libraries. The
sentiments expressed in the book, is is
claimed. are entirely at variance with
many acts of obsequiousness in which
Mr. Carnegie is alleged to have indulged
in while here whenever he chanced to be
permitted to approach the outer bound
aries Of the royal circle.
The Emperor William rested very un-
easily last night and suffered severely
from rheumatic pains at the base of the
spine. His condition this evening pre-
sents 10 favorable symptoms.
